Since 2014, and in addition to our world-class project delivery work, Oktana has provided bespoke teams to our clients in order to continue to deliver world-class solutions. Our commitment to service delivery between projects and augmentation has led clients to stay with us on average for 4+ years.
Our unique performance-based model, Tactical Performance Augmentation (TPA), is a transformative approach to IT staff augmentation. It’s been designed to solve the challenges of traditional IT staff augmentation models, such as slow provisioning of resources, lack of transparency in billing, and inflexible length-of-service contracts.
Tactical Performance Augmentation allows you to:
Tactical Performance Augmentation allows you to:
True Time & Materials Cost Model:
‘True Time & Materials Cost Model’.
Based on our TPA model, Oktana Direct will help you build a team with the right composition of Developers, Quality Engineers, UI/UX Designers and Scrum Masters for your needs. We don’t force you into a team size or engagement model that requires you to change anything within your SDLC. We tactfully enhance your existing organization to help you execute on your mission-critical priorities.
Our developers bring not only Salesforce talent, but skills in modern development frameworks, languages, and protocols, including:
We provide nearshore and onshore resources. With locations throughout the Americas, we provide resources with a generous overlap across shared time zones.
With onshore resources in addition to nearshore resources, and SOC 2 certification, Oktana is a natural fit for organizations with high compliance and governance standards. Read more about our compliance program.
We know your needs change. Again, this goes back to flexibility. Set the end date in advance, or simply give us 45 days notice when you want to roll one resource, or the whole team, down.
Our team speaks English, whether native or in addition to Spanish. Though each country has its own unique culture, many of the cultural norms throughout the Americas are shared, or complementary, which makes working as one team a smooth, and fun, experience.
Based on a Time & Materials cost model, we enable you to see how many hours of work were completed at the end of a sprint, epic, or month versus how much we invoiced you for that resource, to more accurately calculate velocity. We call it the “Performance-to-Spend ROI”. If you’re not happy with that ROI metric, simply give notice that you would like to transition a specific team member off your project.
To minimize any of our team members feeling they are on an island, isolated, we build your team in such a way that they will have the support they need. We encourage our customers to treat them as they would treat their own employees to build a connection to their business, just as we make efforts to ensure everyone knows they are what makes Oktana special. We are committed to our team and they are treated with respect and care which carries over to your organization.
We invest in our team’s continuous growth. Our team members complete extensive onboarding training to meet our standards, which customers should trust, and this continues as their career grows with us. Our training team works with each team member to guide a path that enables them to excel on your project and mature in their field while our resourcing team ensures team members move to projects that support their career growth.

Our customer identified that their Salesforce org was outdated and didn’t fully align with their updated business model. Additionally, they needed to improve and automate part of their data entry and some business processes to more efficiently leverage their resources. Therefore, our main tasks were to provide business analysis, development, and delivery management.
Our customer decided they needed to create an app to run on the Zoom meeting service to make it easier for their members to participate. This new app would show recommendations to the users regarding meals, snacks, exercise, and things they could be doing while attending either personal or work meetings.
They partnered with us to help them redesign their mobile app. Our team of designers was in charge of creating design guidelines to help them refresh their Android app.
